Chapter 435 Don’t Touch Me
The cold came very suddenly. After staying in the hospital for more than ten days, Evelyn was infected
by the cold. She was afraid that it would affect Ben, so she didn’t go to the hospital and let Lucy
accompany Ben there.
She went to the bank and withdrew a portion of the divorce settlement money that Jerry had transferred
earlier to cover all the expenses for this surgery.
After that, she took a taxi to the HM Law Office. She didn’t inform anyone before she came, so when
Flora saw her standing in her office with a resignation letter, she couldn’t
even come to her senses.
“What are you doing?”
Evelyn placed the application report she held onto the desk and spoke with a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry,
Ms. Atkins. In
the end, I have let you down. I have been facing too many
wwwww
problems lately, and I thought I could handle them, but now it
seems…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSpeaking of this, she paused and laughed at herself. “It seems
that I can’t handle them well.”
Flora looked at the
“Evelyn, I know that there’s something wrong with your father’s health. I can give you a vacation to take
care of
your family. Resignation is not a small matter. You are very capable, and your business is excellent. It’s
a pity to give up
like this.”
She lowered her gaze, her hands tightly clasped behind her back, restraining her impulses. After a
moment, she spoke in a low voice, “Ms. Atkins, I’m sorry.”
Flora sighed helplessly. “Evelyn, your leave of absence hasn’t ended yet. Take a few more days to
think it over. You don’t have to rush to give me an answer.”
“No need to think about it. I’ve made up my mind.”
Flora looked a little embarrassed. “You know, the resignation approval process requires reporting layer
by layer, and considering your relationship with Mr. Lloyd, I can’t simply…”
“I know.” Evelyn continued with a smile, “You can tell him.”
Flora was stunned for a moment. Her intuition told her that there was something wrong between Evelyn
and Huston. But no matter what, she still admired Evelyn. After persuading her for a while, she looked
at Evelyn’s back and helplessly picked up the phone on the table.
Huston was aware that Ben would recover in a few days. Every day, he would have the doctors report
the specific situation to him, eagerly awaiting the day of his discharge. He looked forward to having a
peaceful conversation with Evelyn.
However, after waiting for so long, he didn’t receive the news of Ben’s full recovery. Instead, he
received the news of Evelyn’s
resignation.
He was on his way to the company from the hospital at that time. When he learned that she had left, he
immediately
turned around and drove to the Royal Villa.
Huston was anxious, fearing that any delay could result in an accident. He forcefully stepped on the
accelerator, causing the car to speed rapidly. Ignoring traffic rules numerous times along the way, he
ended up arriving a little earlier than Evelyn, who had left ahead of him.
He sat still in the car, watching Evelyn enter from the front

unhurried, and the serene expression on her face made him
feel uneasy.
Huston snuffed out the cigarette between his fingers, opened
the car door, and let the cold wind in. He was only wearing a
thin shirt and a suit jacket, but he didn’t feel cold. He kept
walking toward the delicate figu
Evelyn noticed him, but she didn’t make any other movements. She continued to walk calmly and
composedly towards the
entrance gate.
When Evelyn was about to open the door, Huston grabbed
hold of her, emanating a sense of hostility. It was hard to predict whether they were going to have a
calm conversation or a big argument.
Both of them were suppressing their emotions tightly, especially Huston.
Looking at his palm holding her wrist, Evelyn felt his warmth. Her heart skipped a beat. Suppressing
her emotions, she said indifferently, “Don’t touch me.”
She didn’t want him to touch her at all. As soon as he got
close, she would think of the image of him carrying Mia and leaving that day.
All the beautiful memories were completely shattered by the poolside that day.
